Birdiestrachan, I see that you are again out of focus. It is not yet the weekend, so leave the rum alone.

There was an issue in the past regarding the toilets I believe at the Chinese built stadium. Rather than using proper and approved size PVC waste pipes apparently two inch pipes were used which would not be able to handle the waste run. If this is the type of problems that Baha Mar is encountering then there is no surprise in necessary upgrades, cost over runs and delays. These are not simple mistakes, they take time and money to redress, and if proper procedure had been followed through from the beginning , perhaps so many of today's difficulties could have been avoided. If this is in fact the case, then I would put the fault at the feet of the construction company.

I understand that while all attention is focused on the fireworks initiated by the two silly boys, (Mitchell and Gibson) that there are bills currently being pushed through for first and second readings, one important bill deals with taxes and demanding annual licences for solar panels and their provision of electricity to homes and apartments and businesses. I know of no other countries that would do this, but instead they provide cost cutting incentives for alternative energy supply, this could be another nightmarish nail in the coffin of this administration, as these ideas of licensing the conversion of sunshine to power will not ever be respected or paid by anyone. Myself and all I know included. In many areas where there is no public power supply available, solar is a way to power the basics of daily necessities. and all persons must have the choice to purchase power from a government entity or use private alternatives on their own homes or businesses

This jackass should be the first to have his head examined!

"but police are never really off duty" which means that they can never have an alcoholic beverage at a club or anywhere else, as they would be drinking on duty.

One of the greatest contributors to the state of disenfranchisement is the get rich quick dreams of sugar plums which are touted by the web shops and numbers establishments. Monetary gain without the pain of having to work diligently is the enticement. The pain that results when the house wins and the customers money is gone adds to the frustration felt and the cycle of putting more and more money into a proven losing pastime the desperation becomes real when these people lose not only money that they might have set aside in their minds to play (win or lose) but when they use moneys that are for home, mortgage, food, school, taxes, transportation, and then their actual properties and possessions go on the block to finance what has become for them an addiction. This addiction like all others affects not only them but the poverty and despair resulting from their behaviours affects all other members of family and thins out their stock of friends. Blame is attributed to any and everything other than themselves and often behaviour drifts to the dark side, actions which would previously be considered unthinkable are being considered and becoming a way of life - and making money. The companions they make will use their misfortune as either a means to their own financial ends or others to justify their similar situations. In all, the downward spiral of self esteem and vision for the future is available to those who court it, and though there are many roads leading to this state, this is only one of them.

The government should sell the Bahamasair albatross to a company that knows how to manage this business properly and profitably. All that the government appears to be interested in is image. How can the Bahamian public trust a group of people incapable of running a country to run an air carrier service?

This government stinks worse that a week old dead rat.
